Abstract


Varieties of Italian millet are distinguished by diverse qualities such as the colour of the grain, the pigment of the plant body or the bristle, anc equally well by certain metric properties like the number of tillers, the dimension of the earhead or the size of the grain. These quantitative factors are liable to great fluctuations under the influence of the environ ment and do not possess the constancy of the qualitative characters. Usually the variation in one factor is governed by variations in other factors. The present study is an investigation into the relationship between some salient metrical properties both inter- and intra-varietal.
